In his first spring training appearance in a San Francisco Giants uniform, Justin Verlander showed that even a three-time Cy Young Award winner still has to shake off some rust before Opening Day.

Justin Verlander struck out one and allowed a solo home run while pitching two innings in his spring training debut for the San Francisco Giants on Monday. Verlander's first start of the spring came four days after the three-time Cy Young Award winner's 42nd birthday.

Justin Verlander faced a lot of questions about his future after he endured a rough 2024 campaign with the Houston Astros that saw him post a 5.48 earned run average over 17 starts.
